Sources & method
- Mileage shares: CarWhere analysis of 103 live US used-car listings from licensed vehicle-data providers, captured 2026-11-03. Aggregate counts only — no individual listings are stored. Listings without an odometer reading are excluded.
- “10+ years old” means model year 2016 or older. Comparing cars of similar age is the fairer test: a model with mostly new inventory will show few high-mileage examples no matter how durable it is.
- Median miles by model year: median odometer of each used model year on the market (minimum 30–40 listings per year), from CarWhere's live-listing price studies.
- Reliability: CarWhere analysis of NHTSA owner complaints (Office of Defects Investigation) and recall records. Complaint rates per 1,000 vehicles sold are shown where sales data exists.
- Listings show cars that are still on the road and for sale, so this is a survivor sample — it tells you how far these cars commonly go, not the share that were scrapped earlier.
